10so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine.
11My son, despise not the instruction of Jehovah, neither be weary of his chastisement;
12for whom Jehovah loveth he chasteneth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13Blessed is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14For the gain thereof is better than the gain of silver, and her revenue than fine gold.
15She is more precious than rubies; and all the things thou canst desire are not equal unto her.
16Length of days is in her right hand; in her left hand riches and honour.
17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her; and happy is he that retaineth her.
19Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens.
20By his knowledge the deeps were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
21My son, let them not depart from thine eyes; keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22so shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace unto thy neck.
